“Do you consciously give up 10% of your goals, knowing that by doing so you are almost guaranteed to achieve the remaining 90%? Or do you take a very high risk of losing the entire 100%, even though you know you are almost certain to fail, simply because you feel you cannot give up that 10%?”
Ask any rational individual this question, and the answer will almost always be the same: sacrifice the 10% in order to secure the 90%.
However, as we know, a large group of people — whether a political party, a religious institution, or any other collective organization — does not behave like a single rational individual. Such groups operate through very different mechanisms when reaching conclusions and making decisions.
Yes indeed. Your view is obviously based on vast experience — and many different sorts of experience. I agree with your summary of the issues and we can only try to help others “get it.” Thank you for your contribution.
